I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual.

I knew we were a minority, but I didn’t expect this level of apathy. It feels like Spez was 100% right and this did in fact blow over. What’s your take on it it? I didn’t expect Reddit to immediately be a failure, but man I guess I expected a bigger impact than that.
